Since 2001, Envera participates in the AILA Project for the Insertion of People with Disabilities in the Workplace, promoted by the Community of Madrid and co-financed by the European Union 40% co-financing from the European Union Plus.
Our main objective is to achieve the labor inclusion of people with disabilities and greater difficulties of insertion (especially intellectual, mental, physical or sensory disabilities over 65% and who, in general, do not have formal training or previous work experience. The job placements are carried out under the supported employment methodology (ECA) whenever the case requires it, adapting the intensity to the needs of the candidates and those of the job position.
Throughout the year 2024, with the support of the AILA XIX Project, Envera develops integrated itineraries of labor market insertion in which 60 people with disabilities participate. 60 people with disabilities10 of whom are also taking a cooking and hotel and catering course with training internships in companies in the sector.
The individualized elaboration of labor insertion itineraries with each participant makes it possible to configure the necessary path so that each person with a disability can obtain a stable job, taking into account his or her qualities, interests, preferences and professional approach, that that allows them to occupy their place in the world with dignity..
These itineraries facilitate the development of resources and competencies so that the person can identify employment options, choose, make their own decisions and evaluate the results in an autonomous manner.
One of the constants that is repeated throughout all the AILA Projects is the importance of working on pre-employment and training skills. Within the Project, workshops related to the latest technologies are carried out to reduce the digital divide and provide access and technological training to people with disabilities, since these skills are increasingly in demand in the labor market and, through these workshops, the opportunity is provided to acquire knowledge so that candidates can improve their employment opportunities and be more competitive in an increasingly digital environment.
Another important part of the AILA Project that we develop at Envera is the specific training given at the Free Cooking and Dining Room Assistant Course to ten people with disabilities and is focused on the hospitality sector, which has a high demand for professionals and provides many opportunities for people with disabilities.
The main objective of this specific training has been to enable and train people with disabilities to perform tasks related to the field of hospitality as kitchen assistants and thus be able to access one of the most sought after professions in the labor market.
In addition to this training, specific training on environmental awareness and sustainability (aimed at promoting environmentally sensitive behavior and attitudes, through information on regulations, basic concepts and sustainability habits) and gender equality with activities aimed at training, promotion and awareness in this area are provided throughout all the Projects.
During the development of all AILA Projects, Envera works closely with social services, labor rehabilitation centers and base centers in the Community of Madrid and, together with organizations, companies, public administrations and institutions to inform, raise awareness and put into practice all the social responsibility and disability measures adopted in this initiative.
